April 18, 2024 | Kathryn Kellogg

"One of the most sustainable things you can do is just use what you have. That pertains to clothing items too: Simply shopping your closet first can make a big impact.

I'm excited about this one. Mended a small hole in my jeans using a Speedweve pocket loom I got a couple years ago. It's not perfect, but it works, and I have ideas about how to do better next time. Not bad for a first go.

What a cool sashiko design, and I feel like it would also not take forever. A YouTube short, so not the best, but it's a pretty cool technique, also with the good tips of that specific raw edge treatment and turning the needle!

Pockets and ankle hems done. Didn’t bother to buy matching thread just used up so light blue -it was always going to be quick and dirty #visiblemending. The embroidery stars for the holes are harder that I hoped on the stretchy fabric but that’s next. Pockets a little smaller than planner but will take a tissue which was the only real requirement!

What a good question. It’s probably about hashtagS, and labelling of what the practice is. Knitters knit etc.

Now I’m curious to know what others find helpful. I follow people more than hashtags, and then when I find someone’s making something I notice if they’re sharing it to a hashtag and I’ll amble in that direction.

#compostodon for people making something of waste is one you might not think of. And I notice the makers of #solarpunk and the #visiblemending community.

I had a lot of scrap yarn to use up and a disintegrating hoodie and things got a bit out of hand. #crochet #visiblemending

@jaz #telleveryone the diy community is equal to none. The emphasis on repair, the #sewing #mending #visiblemending people, the #solarpunk vibe. People take initiatives, ambitious or tiny.

@anderlandbooks Thank you very much! When I presented #visibleMending at a festival, a designer approached me and asked if I knew the legendary record cover of Neil Young.
This #fashion was my childhood and certainly influenced me.

Finally got around to mending my hoodie today. I'm not mad at the results. #VisibleMending
